Chantilly pt. 3

Architecture, bits and pieces.
 Chapel entrance. Gilded crown of thorns
 The entire ceiling. I am not typically into decoration and embellishment like this but it is quite nice.
 Delicate scroll work
 The inlay here is incredible. This band runs the entire length of the room
 More inlay with scrolling and carving.
 This carving is incredible. So beautiful.
 The stables again
 A stall in the stable, bead board walls, porcelain feeding bowls
 This dappled grey activating his water fountain

 It was feeding time.

 The two above are of the ceiling area of the stables.
The stable stalls were made on Faubourg St. Honoré. So cool and a good reminder of what Paris looked like before luxury retail and government embassies moved in.
